German Veterans 50 Year Gorget Type I

The Veterans 50 Year Gorget was worn by standard bearers of the Nazi organization for military veterans, the DRKB (Deutscher Reichskriegerbund), later renamed the Nationalsozialistischer Reichskriegerbund (NSRKB). The Veterans Gorget Type I was introduced in 1937.

The gorget is constructed of polished metal with a silver finish and features a central enamel device with a swastika surmounted by the Kyffhäuser monument in Saxony. Above this is a separate enameled emblem with the numeral “50”. The enamel device is flanked on both sides by stamped metal ornamentation featuring furled flags- Imperial era flags on the left, and the new Nazi banners on the right. The original dark blue felt backing on the reverse is present. There is one retaining hook to fasten the gorget to the uniform, it has a stamped numeral “1” which is presumably a manufacturer code. This Veterans 25 Year Gorget is complete with its original chain, which has a very bold and striking design of alternating Iron Crosses and large static swastikas. The gorget is in very good condition with light signs of age and use.

Super nice exampel!!
